The International Cricket Thread

I had to rack my brain in the NZ Bangladesh game. Williamson was run out by a mile but the Bangladesh keeper broke the stumps before he received the ball. If my memory of the rules is correct then the keeper needed to pull the stump out of the ground for a run out to be given. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one like that before!

It’s getting a bit tense now. NZ lose their 7th wicket still needing 25 from 36.

What a fantastic game of cricket for the neutral. I’m enjoying the tournament so far!

Hells bells. We better not underestimate the Bangledeshi’s at the weekend!

Lovely to see, Aussies 40-4.

Unfortunately Smith and Stoinis are staging a fightback 74-4

Coulter-Nile might have batted the Aussies back into this

The Windies v the Crims is building nicely, windies are 243-6 needing 46 from 36 balls.

Windies have fucked this one up.

Pakistan v Sri Lanka, over the river in Brizzle today was one of the game I considered getting a ticket for.

Glad that I didn't. It's miserable down here and I doubt a ball will be bowled

Hope the weather clears in Cardiff tomorrow.

Blimey I know Mo’s form with the bat is bad, but Plunkett in for him does leave a long(albeit useful) tail.

I think with a small ground and a green tinged pitch then it’s a good choice. Moeen could potentially have been carted to all corners. Plunkett is a wicket taker who should thrive in typically British conditions.

Great start this. Started sensible and now accelerating.

Weird there are lots of empty seats.
